How do I skip certain ValidateInterceptor? - sap-commerce-cloud

Question

I have created a VariantValueCategory and wanted to skip the ValidateInterceptor as it was not allowing me to create VariantValueCategory either by Impex or by HMC. Can any one suggest me how do I skip ValidateInterceptor or any Interceptor?

You can disable interceptor through code and Impex.
Using code
You can run your save model code using sessionService.executeInLocalViewWithParams and you can use parameters to avoid to use interceptors.
There are 3 types of policies :
InterceptorExecutionPolicy.DISABLED_INTERCEPTOR_BEANS : to disable a list of beans
InterceptorExecutionPolicy.DISABLED_INTERCEPTOR_TYPES : to disable a kind of interceptor - validator for example
InterceptorExecutionPolicy.DISABLED_UNIQUE_ATTRIBUTE_VALIDATOR_FOR_ITEM_TYPES : to disable UniqueAttributesValidatoron a set of type
Example 1 - Disable beans
final Map<String, Object> params = ImmutableMap.of(InterceptorExecutionPolicy.DISABLED_INTERCEPTOR_BEANS, ImmutableSet.of("yourDataInterceptorToDisable"));
sessionService.executeInLocalViewWithParams(params, new SessionExecutionBody()
{
#Override
public void executeWithoutResult()
{
//Do your stuff
modelService.save(something); // save successful - yourDataInterceptor interceptor is disabled
}
});
Example 2 - Disable interceptors type
final Map<String, Object> params = ImmutableMap.of(InterceptorExecutionPolicy.DISABLED_INTERCEPTOR_TYPES,
ImmutableSet.of(InterceptorExecutionPolicy.DisabledType.VALIDATE));
sessionService.executeInLocalViewWithParams(params, new SessionExecutionBody()
{
#Override
public void executeWithoutResult()
{
//Do your stuff
modelService.save(something); // save successful - all validate interceptors are disabled
}
});
Example 3 - Disable by type
final Map<String, Object> params = ImmutableMap.of(InterceptorExecutionPolicy.DISABLED_UNIQUE_ATTRIBUTE_VALIDATOR_FOR_ITEM_TYPES, ImmutableSet.of("YourType"));
sessionService.executeInLocalViewWithParams(params, new SessionExecutionBody()
{
#Override
public void executeWithoutResult()
{
//Do your stuff
modelService.save(something); // save successful - UniqueAttributesValidator not called
}
});
Using Impex
It's the same thing with impex you can add 3 parameters to achieve the same thing as code
Example 1 - Disable beans [disable.interceptor.beans='yourDataInterceptorToDisable']
INSERT_UPDATE YourType[disable.interceptor.beans='yourDataInterceptorToDisable'];isocode[unique=true];toto;titi;
;something;toto;titi;
Example 2 - Disable interceptors type [disable.interceptor.types=validate]
INSERT_UPDATE YourType[disable.interceptor.types=validate];isocode[unique=true];toto;titi;
;something;toto;titi;
Example 3 - Disable by type [disable.UniqueAttributesValidator.for.types='YourType']
INSERT_UPDATE YourType[disable.UniqueAttributesValidator.for.types='YourType'];isocode[unique=true];toto;titi;
;something;toto;titi;

Answer 2

Actually there are two modes of importing data with ImpEx in Hybris :
Active mode : it uses the ServiceLayer to do import. It means that actions like INSERT, UPDATE and REMOVE are performed using ModelService, thus the ServiceLayer infrastructure like interceptors and validators are triggered.
Legacy mode : it's a very quick CRUDE import, which means it's bypassing the ServiceLayer of Hybris, hence no interceptors and no validators are invoked.
So how to enable legacy mode ? will You can do this in three different ways :
In local.properties set impex.legacy.mode = true and restart the server.
<!-- local.properties -->
impex.legacy.mode = true
Or if you do import using HAC, check legacy mode checkbox :
Or set the configuration directly into theimpex like this :
INSERT_UPDATE VariantValueCategory[impex.legacy.mode=true] ;myAttribute
...
However if you want to disable completely the interceptor from being called (not just for impexes), you can replace it with a VoidInterceptor.
VoidInterceptor : it's an empty interceptor, it does nothing at all.
So if we suppose that you want to prevent this interceptor variantCategoryValidateInterceptor from being invoked, you can replace it like this :
<!-- in my*-spring.xml -->
<bean id="variantValueCategoryVoidInterceptorMapping" class="de.hybris.platform.servicelayer.interceptor.impl.InterceptorMapping">
<property name="interceptor" ref="VoidInterceptor"/>
<property name="typeCode" value="VariantValueCategory"/>
<property name="replacedInterceptors" ref="variantCategoryValidateInterceptor"/>
</bean>

Answer 3

The simpliest way: unregisterInterceptor
Go to HAC -> Scripting Languages -> Groovy
def inteceptorMapping = spring.getBean("yourInterceptorMappingBeanId")
registry = spring.getBean("interceptorRegistry");
registry.unregisterInterceptor(inteceptorMapping);
